The Long Haul: "New" Curtains!

"New" Curtains!

>> Tuesday, August 4, 2009 – Apartment, DIY

When John first moved to this apartment over a year ago, we got plain brown curtains from Target for the bedroom- mostly to block the light since the crappy blinds here do not.

See how sad they look?

They looked okay with our duvet cover..
but were just so BROWN..

Add one more curtain panel, a bazillion pins and several hours at the sewing machine (scratch that- make it TWO sewing machines... mine & John's mom's), we now have 4 updated and more beautious curtains.

Jaq inspecting.

You can kind of see the bedspread in this pic. The lighting was terrible.

And, up close.

Samantha – (August 4, 2009 at 12:04 PM): well I knew that once we moved I wouldn't have a chance to sew them up- other projects would be more pressing!
Hillary – (August 4, 2009 at 1:13 PM): They look beautiful! I wish I had even the slightest bit of talent with a sewing machine.
Heather (Live.Love.Laugh.) – (August 4, 2009 at 2:12 PM): Love!! Very cute idea to make those.
Cute kitty!
